Everyone is ready for the Solar Eclipse…even Howard’s Flying Dragon Antiques in Essex! The question I’m getting a lot today is… where do I plan on photographing the Eclipse. Now I know it’s disappointing, but I will not be flexing my shutter today. Unless you have a really good (and costly) Solar Filter you shouldn’t be either! Just as the sun will be dangerous to your sight without proper solar glasses, it too will fry your camera sensor without the proper filter on the lens. If I wasn’t working today I’d head down to the Fisherman’s Statue and hang with the Gloucester area Astronomy Club and take a peek through their awesome setups!! In any event if you are like me, stuck inside the office, live stream from NASA is next best thing…no glasses or filters needed! Enjoy! (Eclipse starts 1:29pm, Peak 2:46 pm, Finished 4:00 pm)
Good Morning Gloucester
